What progress have you made? What insights or observations have you had?

How are you doing on your goals or action items? If you didn’t make progress – that can be helpful, too. What did you notice about where you got stuck?

What would you like to work on this time? What are you going to focus on next week?

Maximize the value of your coaching session

Remember, academic coaching is designed for YOU.

If the conversation is not going in a direction that feels useful, feel welcome to let your coach know you’d like to talk about something else or move in a different direction.

Take notes or ask the coach to help you take notes during your session or at the end of the session so you can capture ideas you’ve brainstormed and you take away a list of action items and next steps.

During the week, keep these notes handy and refer to them to keep you on track with your planned action items.
